You're right of course and I'm glad you corrected my post. I know better that the 3 mil were utilized with later 78s while LP styli are 1 mil or smaller.

I was not certain about vertical compliance in older mono cartridges so thanks for that.

I have read from J. Carr, designer for Lyra, about benefits from their modern styli profile in their mono cartridges. And while that may be true for the number of mono reissues produced over the last several years with stereo cutter heads, I still wonder how optimum that might be with original monos from the '50s and '60s?

I bought a Denon 102 true mono cartridge a while ago but have been delayed installing it in the intended arm/table. I do have several hundred mono LPs from the '50s and '60s as well as nearly 100 45s so I look forward to that.
